以对话为学习策略的小学语文教学模式探索

以对话为学习策略的语文课堂教学模式旨在构建以“对话核心主题”为中心点、以“对话分主题”为线索、以“对话依托点”为具体内容的课堂操作程式。实验研究表明,实验班学生对语文课学习的兴趣明显提高,语文“双基”得到较好的落实,并拓展了学生思维的广度与深度,激发了学生的创新意识,提升了学生的学习能力。     

论垄断行为的民事救济

我国《反垄断法》第50条规定,“经营者实施垄断行为,给他人造成损失的,依法承担民事责任”,即我国法律明确了民事诉讼为《反垄断法》的实施方式。反垄断民事诉讼,又称反垄断私人诉讼,是指公民、法人和其他组织等垄断行为利害关系人依据《反垄断法》直接向法院提起诉讼,     

Briging it all back home: some implications of recent science and technology studies for the classroom science teacher

In this paper, we support the validity of drawing from science studies to reshape science education. While true educational reform must involve alternative curricular structures, we stress that we do not propose here either a comprehensive curricular framework or a report on a pilot classroom project, as our research perspective comes from science studies rather than from education. Instead this paper is intended to encourage educators to draw from methodologies used in science studies to further their goals in education research and in classroom teaching. First, we examine theoretical connections and divergences between science studies and theories of education. Secondly, we discuss the benefits of teaching science as a social process and offer some suggestions that can be introduced by classroom teachers into pre-existing science curricula.     

Student response to the TIMSS test

The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) involved 47 countries, thousands of students, and their teachers and schools. Included in the battery of tests and other instruments was a Student Questionnaire that was concerned with the personal and school contexts of the students in relation to their mathematics and science learning. Quite late in the planning of this very expensive study, it transpired that no country had considered gathering data on the students’ sense of the relevance of the science topics in the achievement tests, of their science learning, or, their metacognitive awareness of this learning. This paper reports one last minute attempt to collect these data from one group of student in Population 3—the students in the final year of schooling. Like many other aspects of TIMSS, the psychometric dominance in its design meant that this study was logistically very difficult, but some interesting findings are reported.     

Engineering design in the classroom: Is it good science education or is it revolting?

The changing emphasis of science education today includes a shift from a narrowly disciplinary view of science to a more socially and technologically situated perspective. This article reports on the implementation of engineering design projects in about two dozen U. S. secondary science classrooms, following an inservice professional development course conducted at a university engineering college. Using data from an evaluation of the project and three sociological themes—secrecy and ownership, social persuasion and the status of facts, and the relationship between money and science—I argue that technological design projects provide a sociologically fruitful approach for teaching new themes in science education. However, teachers must rethink the nature of their subject matter, something that may be difficult if their training was disciplinary in emphasis.
